comment |
Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and The Blight Below is a 2015 Action RPG Hackand Slash Spin-Off of the Dragon Quest franchise, developed by Omega Force of Koei Tecmo and published by Square Enix, released for the Sony PlayStation 3 (Japan-exclusive), Sony PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch (Japan-exclusive), and PC. Unlike Omega Force's Warriors series proper, Dragon Quest Heroes differs by blending the traditional Eastern RPG mechanics of Dragon Quest with Tower Defense elements, while keeping the typical Warriors formula of using one character to defeat waves of Mooks. Furthermore, Dragon Quest Heroes allow the player to summon monsters to assist the party in fighting the enemy in one location, while the player accomplishes an objective somewhere else in the battlefield.In a similar vein to Hyrule Warriors, multiple characters from across the Dragon Quest franchise make a playable appearance: Maya (Mara), Alena and Kiryl (Clift) from Dragon Quest IV Psaro (Pisaro) from Dragon Quest IV is Downloadable Content in the Japanese version of the game, but comes bundled with the European and North American versions. Bianca and Nera (Flora) from Dragon Quest V Terry from Dragon Quest VI Jessica and Yangus from Dragon Quest VIIIMeanwhile, four brand new characters exclusively for Dragon Quest Heroes make their debut: Luceus (Act) and Aurora (Meer), the respective male and female captains of Arba's royal guard. Players can choose either one as the protagonist of the story, though both simultaneously exist at the same time. Doric (Dirk), the very active king of Arba, who is not content to sit around on his throne with monsters running amok. Isla (Guilietta), a magically and scientifically endowed lady who is also the creator of the "Spell Caster" weapons and the game's airship, which becomes the party's method of travel.A Sequel called Dragon Quest Heroes II: Twin Kings and the Prophecy's End was released for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and the Play Station Vita in 2016. Unlike the first installment, it features multiplayer capability, while blending the Dragon Quest and Warriors elements even further.A Compilation Rerelease featuring both games called Dragon Quest Heroes I & II was released for the Nintendo Switch in 2017.Several thousand Slimes draw near!

Regional Bonus: Played with - the European and North American versions include all Downloadable Content episodes originally sold separately in the Japanese version, though none of the episodes cost any money in Japan later as they were automatically added via updates every couple of weeks. This adds a Difficulty by Region spike since completing all of the content that was originally DLC in the Japanese version is now required to get the platinum trophy in the US one, including every Nintendo Hard Bonus Boss. |

Mythology Gag: Kiryl's Limit Break involves him trying and failing to cast Thwack, a reference to his Artificial Stupidity in the original Dragon Quest IV. Additionally, the animation for it is the same one used in Dragon Quest Monsters Battle Road Victory. |

Limit Break: Going into High Tension makes the character effectively impervious to damage and grants infinite MP while it's active. However, the real reason to enter High Tension mode is to unleash a devastating Coup de Grace in a crowded room of enemies. |

comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: True of many fully charged tier 3 spells with shorter ranges. The main character's fully charged Kazapple spell is a super cool with a large area of affect but is slow to charge and takes an astronomical amount of MP, and isn't all that powerful. It does stun robot enemies but the tier one version (Zap) stuns robot enemies just as well for a quarter the cost. Nera's endless Cresent Moon and Endless Maelstrom are incredible but drain her MP like a mother. Used in high tension is another matter altogether. |

comment |
Boring, but Practical: The main character's Inferno Slash/Cold Fission is the first skill the player learns but clears an entire room of enemies, has a quick charge, takes a low amount of MP, and also hits flying enemies making it probably the most commonly used attack of the entire game. Yangus's Helm Splitter lowers an enemies defense to where player attacks are up to three times more powerful. |

Crisis Crossover: Features characters from across the Dragon Quest franchise, specifically from "The Zenithian Trilogy" and Dragon Quest VIII, with four new playable characters unique to this game only. It's also quite literally a crisis-style crossover - all non-Arban characters are lifted straight from their respective games, and in some cases, are only half-way through the plot! |

Alena and Kiryl are a more direct example: in the localization, the two tend to steal any scene they participate in, thanks in part to their voice actors running with the established Funny Foreigner tendencies of the characters as far as they can. |

Insurmountable Waist-High Fence: In the first Dawnsholm segment, your original attempt to the village is cut off by a large chunk of rubble stuck between the trees, which forces you back to take another way. In real life it would be easy for them to simply clamber over the nearby roots and make it in anyway. |

Dubtitle: To the annoyance of some, the subtitles for cutscenes and the like are only of the English dub. This would be a little less contentious if the English version didn't take liberties with the way some of the characters, especially Alena and Kiryl, speak compared to the still-included Japanese audio, along with the large number of altered names (including virtually all the original characters). Taken to ridiculous levels with characters such as Yangus' dialogue in Japanese being subtitled wot like 'e's a right proper Cockney fella, as in the dub. |

Broad Strokes |
| | Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and The Blight Below (Video Game) / int_547196be |
comment |
Broad Strokes: The game takes this approach for a few aspects of the crossover characters, with Bianca and Nera being a specific example. Both make comments that sound like they've traveled extensively with the Dragon Quest V hero and have seen most of their world, except the hero can only take one of them on the journey in V itself, and only after the marriage (the two were explicitly taken from Mostroferrato the night before the wedding, seemingly right after the playable section with the hero). Bianca states they're both from Mostroferrato when properly introducing themselves. Not precisely true, but Bianca may also be keeping it simple for her new friends. She was in Mostroferrato when she got whisked away, at any rate. The two are pretty sincere friends and mention having known each other "for a few days". Unless one goes out of their way to visit Mostroferrato before obtaining the Circle of Water, Bianca and Nera only meet when the Circle is turned in to complete the marriage trial, and they only interact briefly, and the marriage happens the next morning. Similarly, Nera mentions being "unable to sleep" and "going out for a walk" the night before the wedding, when the two are taken. Nera is rather famously sound asleep compared to Bianca during the well-known "night before the wedding" sequence itself in V. Amusingly, all this ambiguity regarding who ends up being the heavenly bride can lead to it looking like a case of Hide Your Lesbians. |

The Smurfette Principle: Gloriously averted, with the male-to-female ratio (5-to-7 with the main cast, 6-to-7 with Psaro) of playable characters tilted toward the ladies. More specifically, the playable men are Luceus, Doric, Terry, Kiryl, and Yangus (+ Psaro), while the playable women are Aurora, Isla, Alena, Jessica, Bianca, Nera, and Maya. |

Gameplay and Story Segregation |
| | Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and The Blight Below (Video Game) / int_6320eced |
comment |
Gameplay and Story Segregation: Even though you get a grand total of 13 characters in your party, and the in-game chatter indicates that everybody is indeed present in the battle, you can only actually bring 4 along with you. In every cutscene all the characters exhibit a sense of urgency to save the world that the player is free to completely ignore. Hooray, we just cleared out all the monsters attacking the city walls! Let's hurry inside and find the elder while the monsters are all gone...after we return to the airship and do some side-quests first. Even after supposedly liberating the different towns of all monsters, you can always go back and grind against more monsters. In a lot of the cutscenes, character intros especially, the characters are able to drop golems, trolls, and other tough enemies with a single attack. Many of those enemies are so powerful during gameplay that it takes constant hammering by the entire party to defeat one of them at the time said character joins you. Psaro shows up a couple times, annihilates the strongest monster on the battlefield before his dialogue is finished, then vanishes. Later during his boss fight he incredibly powerful and more than capable of team wiping the player's entire party. Once he joins the player's party he will probably lag behind some of the other characters and is rather squishy. Psaro's entire character is about how he chose to ally himself with monsterkind and even calls himself the 'King of Monsterkind' when he enters high tension. So why why did he appear just to defeat a monster? You'd think he would have gone after your party. Many quests require you to defend certain points, with a corresponding life bar. No problem when those points are doors or other inanimate objects, but many times you are defending a person. So the question is, why can't I heal them somehow, either with Jessica's Hustle Dance or via Healix? |

Spotlight-Stealing Squad: From a meta perspective, the Zenithians - more than half of the playable cast come from the world of Zenithia, but spread out over different time periods. Counting Psaro, four Zenithians are from Dragon Quest IV alone! Alena and Kiryl are a more direct example: in the localization, the two tend to steal any scene they participate in, thanks in part to their voice actors running with the established Funny Foreigner tendencies of the characters as far as they can. |

Boss in Mook's Clothing: Done quite literally as some bosses, like the Green Dragon and Living Statute, return in later levels in a mini-boss capacity. If a powerful end level mini-boss like Killing Machines, Great Sabercats, and Golems make their first appearance with their own life bars, expect to see them a couple of levels later crawling the battlefields by the dozens. By then they'll have even ditched visible life bars. Mimics and Canniboxs. Be very, very careful about opening chests when other enemies are around. |

Character Exaggeration |
| | Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and The Blight Below (Video Game) / int_9002083e |
comment |
Character Exaggeration: Inevitable for a Warriors crossover with Kiryl getting hit the hardest - while he was afraid of heights in Dragon Quest IV, it only comes up occasionally; in Heroes, it occurs quite often, though not helped by the fact that home base is set on an airship with Alena needling him for it. Terry's arrogance from Dragon Quest VI is similarly played up and Yangus is based almost entirely around being soft-hearted for Healix and saying Cockney-based slang constantly (he did the same in Dragon Quest VIII, but not to this extent for Heroes). Oddly averted with Alena: to those unfamiliar with Dragon Quest IV, one would assume Alena's lust for combat is being played up to comical, almost obnoxious levels. As Kiryl will state with a sigh, this is accurate to her portrayal in IV. Also interestingly averted with Nera in relation to Kiryl. Party chat in V suggests she was also fairly afraid of heights like he is, yet during Heroes she shows no such fears even knowing she's on an airship, though perhaps she's just canonically less fearful of heights than Kiryl was. She however does make a comment about being fairly afraid of the ocean during the Shrine of Seals segment, mirroring a line of hers about the sea from when she had been a child in the opening part of the remakes of V. |

Continuity Nod |

comment |
Continuity Nod: Most of the guest characters appear to have exited their worlds in the middle of the game they originated from, as if the stories were going on concurrently in other dimensions. One could consider Arba to be the central hub of a Dragon Quest multiverse, and assume all the characters will leave Arba and return to their worlds to resume their respective stories. Alena and Kiryl recognize Marquis de Leon, as well as Maya and Psaro, suggesting they all come from a point in time after the ending of IV, as they're also looking for a thief who stole a gift to Alena from her father which happens to be a pair of glass slippers for Alena's coronation to Tsarina. Nera and Bianca were removed from Dragon Quest V the eve before one of them marries the hero. Terry could have been anywhere before joining the hero in Dragon Quest VI. Yangus and Jessica have already defeated Rhapthorne in Dragon Quest VIII, as Yangus refers to himself as a "bandit turned 'ero", and Jessica unleashes Magic Burst as her coup de grace, which is an endgame spell. And after Empyrea rescues the party at The Fault, Yangus and Jessica tell you that Empyrea directly helped them to defeat a villain in their own world, referencing the final battle with Rhapthorne. |

One-Man Army: Like most Warriors games, any playable character can become this. Downplayed this time, however. It's usually a party of four fighting and they need to make good use of Player Mooks to succeed. Any player in high tension mode is an invincible god of destruction. infinite HP, infinite MP, status effects don't work, and heightened attack. Too bad it's temporary. |

Bodyguarding a Badass: As captains of the royal guard, one of the jobs of the main characters is to protect the king, who is himself a Boisterous Bruiser. Hilariously, the late game reveals that there's a good reason there's two captains of the royal guard... and that they're the ones ACTUALLY being protected! |

Metal Slime: It wouldn't be Dragon Quest without the Metal Slime and its cohorts, the Liquid Metal Slime and the Metal King Slime. In addition to their usual high resistance to damage, you now have to chase them down when they spawn, and they are incredibly fast. Take too long and they'll vanish altogether (unless they just do it on a whim). |

Take Your Time: To an almost comical degree. Put on display when Doric almost leads the charge onto the next battle before thinking it might be a good idea to fall back and briefly recover being liberating the town they're at, and then chooses this interlude as a good moment to introduce side-quests. This also holds true for a boss fight immediately after the game's only Timed Mission: regardless of how much time is taken in the first mission, the team can take as long as needed to defeat the boss. |

Mysterious Protector: Psaro shows up in the World Tree, defeats a Boss in Mook's Clothing and disappears. He can even appear on the other side of the level so the player is only aware of him through dialogue. |

Dub Name Change |
| | Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and The Blight Below (Video Game) / int_e2c4b927 |
comment |
Dub Name Change: The Original Generation characters - "Acht" and "Meer" become Luceus and Aurora (which ends up doubling as Theme Naming), "Dirk" to Doric, "Julietta" less explicably turns to Isla, and "Homiron" far more explicably becomes Healix, preserving the monster Theme Naming. And "Helmud", our villain, becomes Velasco. |

Expy: The fight against King Hydra is very much the same as King Dodongo in Hyrule Warriors as the best way to damage it is to chuck a Rockbomb into its mouth. |

Gameplay and Story Integration: Only the children of light are allowed into the sanctum of the shrine of scales, so the player has to fight the boss alone. Isla is the only person who knows how to get into Dawnsholm so she has to be in the player's party for the entire Dawnsholm segment. Similar towards the endgame, a lot of quests revolve around a certain party member, who naturally must be in the party. Valesco and Bjorn the Behemoose topple the Pinnacle of Light. The player is unable to visit it again unlike every other level (unless they go through a dimensional portal on Trial Isle). |

Running Gag |

comment |
Running Gag: Aurora and Luceus are almost a comedy duo with how often she'll interrupt him during an overly-long strategy briefing. Plus several instances of Luceus coming up with a legitimately good idea but someone else gets credit for it. |

Death by a Thousand Cuts: Midway through the game player attacks are capable of doing hundreds of damage. Most levels by then are chock full of mini-boss and boss tier enemies that easily have tens of thousands of health. |

Talking Is a Free Action: Played with. The monsters don't attack whenever Luceus is devising an overly-worded strategy, but Aurora constantly reminds him they won't wait forever and he shuts up. |
